Open to Interpretation

You know, I really wish that I had taken pictures of my boring khaki pants and crisp white top that I wore to teach on Tuesday. Do you want to know why? It would make this story I'm about to tell you so much better, that's why! There I was, sitting at a table, surrounded by adorable 3rd graders, when one of them sweetly asked if they could borrow a pencil. So, I stretched and reached all the way across to the head of the table, grabbed a pencil from the pencil jar, started to sit back down and backhanded my cup of coffee right into my lap! For about an hour and a half, I looked like I had a serious little accident. But, I learned something. When coffee dries on khaki pants, it's almost the exact same color as khaki! =)

Now, that I've rambled on and on about something that has literally nothing to do with my post today, I'll get to the point. Today is Open to Interpretation!! Which basically means that either Kayla, Amy or Erica pick out a picture and we all use it for inspiration and it's totally open to our interpretation. Fun, right?

Do I love it? Nah, not so much. Here's the problem. My jeans are like neon red, not that pretty dark red like the model is wearing. I didn't even realize that red could be neon, but it can. These jeans right here? They're neon. And they're too big. I don't know what possessed me to buy a pair of jeans without trying them on, but silly little me, that's what I did. And the shirt is too big, too. I think I bought it when I was pregnant and wasn't quite ready to wear maternity clothes. So, yeah, I'm wearing a pair of electrifyingly bright red jeans that have a saggy butt and a shirt that's all stretched out from when I had a massive baby belly. It's pretty safe to say I don't love this outfit. But at least it looks okay in the pictures. =)

I was even inspired to wear something in my hair. I don't have any big ole furry hats. Or any hats at all except my pink Adidas running hat. So . . . I wore a little hair clip. =)

And here you all can see my sister's ring I've pretty much stolen. And my chipped polish. I kind of love this ring and think I'm just going to hang onto it for a while. =)

So, go here to see all the other bloggers who are participating in this fun little project!

thanks for your comment on my blog! Your outfit is really cute! I think I need some red pants like that. Glad the coffee dried okay. My second graders spilled stuff on me all the time, but fortunately, I could never see it because of my big baby belly! ha!

I'll use your story for my justification of why I don't drink coffee (and pretend it's not health related). And wow, those are really red! If they were mine, I'd *accidently* wash them with something really black to tone them down! However, if you've got the guts to pull them off, do it!

Ha, I love that you posted these photos even though you weren't happy with the out come. I am rarely that brave. But I think you're still adorable. And now you have something to add to your shopping list. GIANT FURRY HAT! :)

I had a similar spaz moment with my coffee this morning. It landed all over some important paperwork rather than my clothes but it's good to know that it blends well with khaki. I like this super bright shade of red even if it's electrifying! That ring is so pretty. I can see why you "borrowed" it for so long. Oh and thanks for the sweet comment!

Haha I am such a klutz so it's rare a day goes by without spilling something on myself (and it's always when wearing light colours isn't it!) I actually really like these pants-look great in photos and the inspiration photo is very Gap-esque!

Hmmmm I am not seeing any chipped nail polsih so I think your nails look great! So sorry to hear about the coffee accident...that stinks but atleast it does dry and turn into the same colour of your khakis!

Aw, I actually love the color of the pants! And I love picture challenge days. For some reason, I can't pick out my own pictures/plan outfits around them, but if someone else picks out the picture, then I'm all over it. Go figure :)
